Chapter 9: The Underworld

"Master Qinglan!"

Tauna greeted her with a cheer, her eyes full of reverence.

The girl in the green dress bowed slightly, jumped off the dragon's back, and threw her long hair back in a dashing manner.

Ferrin looked at the girl in the green dress.

His slender figure, beautiful face, and especially his graceful and luxurious temperament impressed him.

When he was younger, he had a crush on Tauna.

However, after so many years, I also understood that Tao Na was not interested in men, and preferred to be close to her beautiful sister.

"Tauna, have you forgotten about my sister and Sonia?"

"No...... Tao Na was a little weak and whispered to defend herself, "I'm a ...... It's more fraternal! ”

"Seeing one and loving the other, like the new and never get tired of the old, right?" Fei Lin sneered, lowered his voice and teased her: "Actually, in the matter of flowers, you and Alan are all the same. ”

Tauna's cheeks flushed, but she couldn't argue against it, so she pretended not to hear his teasing.

With the fragrance of grass and trees, Qinglan approached the two young Galaxy Guardians, and her eyes fell on Fei Lin.

"You're Tauna's friend, Alan Panthers?"

"He's not Allen!" Tao Na hurriedly introduced, "This fat man's name is Fei Lin, and he is another good friend of mine. ”

"His bloodline and cultivation?" Qinglan asked directly.

"Behemoth Angel Bloodline, late fifth order." Tauna replied for Ferrin.

"The cultivation is too low, the bloodline is quite rare, and I think it has a little potential."

Qinglan nodded, and then asked Fei Lin:

"Are you interested in coming to our Jade Court and joining the Church of Life? This will be very beneficial for your future development, and you will also be able to get a lot of free cultivation resources. ”

"I'm sorry, respected Master Qinglan, I have joined the Holy Light Church."

Ferrin picked up his sword and showed her the emblem engraved on the hilt.

"The Church of the Light? Hehe......" Qinglan pursed her lips disapprerovingly, "I regret your choice. ”

With that, she turned and walked towards the portal gate.

It seems that he has completely lost interest in Fei Lin.

Fei Lin's face was a little embarrassed.

A haze clouded Tauna's heart was clouded.

Master Qinglan, as a middle-level priest of the Life Church, expressed his disdain for Fei Lin's choice of the Holy Light Church in front of her.

It can be seen that the Church of Life and the Church of Light do not seem to be so united in private.

In terms of faith, the more religious a person becomes, the more paranoid he becomes, and the more intolerant he is of paganism.

The churches founded by each of the seven suzerains have very different doctrines, and even if the suzerains can live in harmony, it will be difficult to stop their fanatical followers from treating each other as hereticals.

In the long run, the contradictions will intensify, and I am afraid that something big will happen......

"You two, what's the fuss? Catch up. ”

Qinglan urged impatiently.

Tao Na came back to her senses and quickly replied, "Wait a minute, Alan hasn't come yet!" ”

"What time do you meet?" Qinglan asked.

"Nine o'clock."

"It's past two past nine o'clock, and he hasn't come yet, what's going on?" Qinglan's face sank.

"Uh...... There may be something temporary, delayed. ”

"I hate people who are not punctual the most in my life!"

Qinglan turned around and continued on her way.

"Master! I'm sorry for Alan, but I'm sorry for you, please wait a few more minutes. Felin chased after him and smiled.

"Why wait, can't you do without him?" Qinglan asked rhetorically.

"Uh...... My friend is very powerful, and he can help us a lot! ”

"I heard that his bloodline talent is good, how high is his cultivation?" Qinglan asked.

"Late Sixth Order."

"Hehe......" Qinglan sneered, "So, do you know how high my cultivation is?" ”

Ferrin shook his head blankly.

"Late Eighth Order!" Tauna whispered to her friend

Fei Lin wiped a cold sweat hard, barely keeping his composure.

"Master, my friend Allen, of course, his cultivation is far from being comparable to you, but he has a unique skill and is good at detoxification!"

"Do you think, let's go to the underworld on a mission this time, maybe we will encounter an eighth-order underworld poison dragon, the team lacks Allen, a potion master, what if someone is poisoned?"

Fei Lin felt that his argument was justified.

As a result, it attracted another contemptuous sneer from Qinglan.

The girl in the green dress elegantly stroked her long hair around her ears, inadvertently revealing the sandalwood bracelet she wore on her wrist.

On the bracelet, a coin-sized emblem is carved, vaguely a budding flower.

This is the emblem of the "Church of Life".

"As an eighth-order natural warlock, a 'life apostle', and an awakened person of the 'Everspring Realm', do you think that I can't solve the eighth-order leviathan toxin?"

Qinglan's questioning, Fei Lin was speechless.

Seeing that Qing Lan led the four silver dragon servants, he had already walked into the portal gate.

Tauna and Felin, out of priority for completing the task, had to follow.

Three people and four dragons, standing in the center of the portal tower hall.

Qinglan stroked the Galaxy Ring and activated the teleportation privilege.

The magic circle under his feet was buzzing and surging with magical brilliance.

In the blink of an eye, a thick pillar of light rose into the sky.

The figure of the crowd disappeared collectively.

……

The Shadow of the Underworld.

There is no sun, very little natural light source.

Most of the area is shrouded in eternal darkness.

The darkness of the underworld is thicker and deeper than the darkness of the material world, and even the "dark vision" cannot function in such an environment.

Fire and light mana are weakened, and necromancy and dark mana are enhanced.

In addition to the undead, there are also living creatures living in the Netherworld.

The creatures that live in this environment all year round gradually mutate their bodies, and eventually transform into half-human, half-ghost shadow creatures, and even their blood has become pitch black.

The dragons who transform into shadow creatures are the so-called "shadow dragons".

The Shadow Dragon draws its magic from the darkness and becomes more powerful than ever, and its temperament shifts towards ferocity and viciousness.

The primary target of everyone's trip, the "Pale Moon" Qiara, is a fallen shadow silver dragon.

The Holy Demon Ancestral Court's branch in the underworld, the "City of Memories", was once the highest power center in the underworld.

Since the fall of the previous generation of "Dead Lords", the Holy Demon Ancestral Court has not awakened the reincarnation of the new generation of Sect Masters of the "Origin of Death".

The city of memories that has lost its master is no longer in its former glory.

The darkness shrouded the city, and a tall tower was erected, and the top of the tower emitted a pale glimmer.

In the middle of the gloomy square, a pillar of teleportation light rises.

Fei Lin stepped out of the teleportation array and looked around curiously.

This is the first time he has returned to the underworld and found the landscape of the "City of Memories" familiar.

"It looks a lot like a stargazing tower, but it's different."

"That's right." "It is said that the City of Memories is a distorted projection of the Stargazing Tower in the underworld. ”

At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps on the other side.

A petite figure slowly walked from the darkness.

A little girl in a white dress with a rag doll in her arms.

The delicate face is sickly pale, and the lips are unusually red.

The charming fox eyes should be very sultry, but they look dull and unfocused.

"Hey! Nora, long time no see! ”

Tao Na didn't have much friendship with this porcelain doll-like girl, but out of politeness, she still took the initiative to come forward to say hello.

Everyone temporarily formed a team to complete a task that was not easy, and the relationship was too cold to be conducive to fighting side by side.

Nora was expressionless.

Cynthia, the rag doll in her arms, seems quite friendly.

Waving little hands and grinning.

"Tauna, Ferrin, hello! What about the Allens? Where did the death go? ”

"Alan has something to do temporarily, and he doesn't have time to form a team, so he may have to act alone."

Felin explained for his old friend.

"It's all about him! I can't come, and I don't say hello in advance! ”

Cynthia grumbled.

The tone of his voice seems to be that of Allen's old friend.

Qing Lan walked over with the silver dragon servant.

His eyes fell on Nora, revealing a hint of curiosity.

"You're the little girl who fuses the blood of the Crimson Mist Demon, the Vampire Count, and the Moonflower Angel?"

"Recently, I have often heard people talk about you, you have a good talent, you have practiced in the riverside hut for a month, and your cultivation has broken through the seventh order, and you have also awakened the transcendent realm, and you have a future."

"Big sister, you have a lot of vision! I can see that my mother is a genius girl! ”

Cynthia crossed her hands on her hips, and her little face was full of pride, as if Qinglan appreciated her.

Qinglan looked at the eccentric mother and daughter.

Silent and sluggish, like a doll's mother.

The lively daughter of a ghost-possessed doll.

…… It's really hard to put into words.

"Nora, you're very good, but it's a pity that your bloodline is biased towards the necromancy, so you're not suitable to join our Life Church."

Qinglan sighed regretfully, and then asked Noraβ€”Cynthia, to be exact.

"Is Black Feather here?"

"I'm here."

In the dark corner, a man's voice was heard.

A thin figure slowly walked out of the shadows.

A pitch-black velvet cloak with a low hood.

Half of his face was covered by his hair, revealing only a cold eye.

Black Feather, a four-star galaxy guardian who lives in the underworld all year round.

Cultivated to the late eighth order, a necromancer.

The strength is similar to that of Qinglan, and he has also awakened the overrun realm.

For this operation, he will serve as a guide for the team.

The treatment of Galaxy Guardian is linked to the star rating.

A four-star guard, like a noble knight in the secular world.

Qualified to obtain a territory in the major planes under the control of the Holy Demon Ancestral Court, and manage their own forces.

When you go out, you are accompanied by guards.

Qinglan's guard, consisting of four silver dragons.

Black Feather's guard, which appears to be twelve heavily armed knights.

The dark and heavy armor wrapped around the knight's body, and his face was also covered by the face armor.

Through the gap in the visor, pale eyes can be faintly seen.

In fact, none of the twelve knights are living people, but so-called "ghost armor".

When they take off their helmets, they find that there is nothing inside them.

The Void Spirit, clinging to the magic armor, makes the steel shell move.

Fight like a true hoppy knight.

The twelve ghost armors around Black Feather each had sixth-order combat power.

Qinglan's Silver Dragon Guards have an average of seventh-order combat power.

For the whole team, the combat power of the two newcomers, Tao Na and Ferrin, seems dispensable.

Qinglan and Hei Yu don't mind that they are making meritorious deeds with the team, but they will not deliberately hide their contempt for them.

Talking to himself, and not even bothering to introduce the newcomers around him.

Nora, who has cultivated to the early stage of the seventh order, has awakened the transcendent realm, which is worth a glance from Qinglan and Hei Yugao.

It's just that Nora is too introverted and has no choice but to communicate with others, and Cynthia does it for her, and she refuses to say a word.

Qinglan and Hei Yu couldn't afford to lower their own prices, so they took the initiative to talk to her.

Black Feather leads the way to the docks of the River Styx.

The crowd will take a boat at the docks and sail on the River Styx until the place where the roots of the World Tree meet the whirlpool of the River Styx.

The elven city of Twilight, which had fallen into the underworld, hung precariously above the river, entangled in a thick clump of tree roots.

If the roots of the tree are cut off, the entire city will fall into the River Styx, swallowed by a great maelstrom.

The roots of the World Tree, infinitely regenerate.

There are only a handful of weapons in the world that can cut it off completely.

One of them is a dragon's tooth soaked in leviathan toxin.

For this purpose, the Pale Moon Kiaro is preparing a blood sacrifice in the city to summon the Styx Poison Dragon.

The crowd must stop the Shadow Silver Dragon from doing its madness before she completes her summoning ritual.

"Master Black Feather, can we cast a spell and teleport directly to Dawn City, isn't it more time-saving than sailing by boat?"

On the way to the dockyard, Ferrin asked Kuroba.

Hei Yu glanced at him and said lightly: "This question, it's too troublesome to explain, I'm too lazy to bother, you just follow me." ”

Fei Lin scratched his head and shrank his head silently.

At this time, Cynthia's laughter came from beside her.

"The substance of the underworld is always in flux, and there is no fixed direction and coordinates."

"In this hellish place, teleportation magic is difficult to pinpoint, coupled with the interference of dark magic, if you are unlucky, you will directly teleport to the River Styx, pour a belly of river water, and become an idiot!"

"So, it's safer to sail on the river."

"The ghost ship we are about to take comes with a 9-ring magic special effect 'Traveling in the Spirit World', which can pass through the obstacles on the channel, take shortcuts directly, and reach the destination in no time."

After listening to her explanation, Fei Lin's face suddenly appeared, and he cast a grateful look at the rag doll.

Cynthia seems to get along better than the silent Nora.

In the city of memories where the lord is absent, the security situation is worrying.

Near the dock, there are large groups of strangely shaped monsters.

Smelling the breath of a living person from afar, he screamed and pounced.

Tauna and Ferrin hurriedly prepared for battle.

"What kind of creature is that, it's black, it's disgusting......"

Tauna muttered to herself.

"Mourning demons, the most common demons in the underworld."

Cynthia was as enthusiastic as ever to introduce.

"Mourning Demon Clan, there are five seeds."

"The largest number is the kind of little black-skinned monster you see, which looks like ghouls, and it's called 'miserable.'"

"They hunt in groups, and when they see living creatures, they pounce on them and bite them, and they frantically suck blood."

"The Void in the Air, called 'Lost', floats across the wasteland, exuding a depressing aura."

"A skinny, tall monster with harpoon-like arms called 'Lonely.'"

"Usually standing in the shadows and not moving, when someone approaches, they rush up and hug like crazy, piercing their sharp arms into each other's bodies, flesh and blood are fused, and they will never be separated."

"The grinning, salivating, fat monster called 'Hunger', driven by an insatiable appetite, frantically devours all its prey."

"And the leader of this group of mourning demons, a deformed giant with two heads, called 'Fury', if you hit him, he will be counterattacked twice as much."

"How strong is this group of mourning demons?" Tauna asked.

"Miserable and weakest, with an average combat power of only 1 rank."

"Loss is almost level 3, loneliness is level 4, hunger is level 5, anger...... Level 6 or 7, depending on how angry he is. ”

Cynthia hugged her shoulders and said with a serious analysis.

"Looks like we're going to have a tough fight."

Fei Lin drew his sword, his face solemn.

Qinglan frowned slightly, turned her head to Hei Yu and said, "Don't delay time here, you and I will make a quick decision." ”

As he spoke, he opened the "Everspring Field", radiating a soft glow all around, and the surrounding area was several miles in radius, shining as bright as day.

The radiation range is very large, which is the characteristic of "Everspring Origin".

Within the range of light, no matter what season it is, the weather will become sunny and warm like spring.

Qinglan's allies can also obtain the "Rejuvenation Circle" special effect, which will slowly heal and replenish energy every second.

On the basis of the Evergreen Domain, Qinglan can mount two overrun skills.

She chose "Daylight" and "Aston Guardian".

In the underworld, light magic such as "Daylight Magic" is suppressed, but the light of the superimposed realm itself basically cancels out the suppression of the dark laws of the underworld.

The mourning demon born in the underworld, under the light of light, immediately fell into panic, covered his eyes and roared in pain.

Mounted on the field, the "Soul Guard" expands its range by a hundredfold, enveloping the mourning demons near the dockyard, continuously applying radiant damage and slowing down its movement speed.

Four majestic silver dragons, spreading their wings and flying towards the demons.

In the roar, they took turns to dive and spit cold currents.

Pieces of the Mourning Demon were frozen into ice.

The remnants were frightened and fled with difficulty.

"Huh...... Give me all back! ”

There was a sneer on the corner of Black Feather's lips, and he held a ball of pearl powder mixed with honey in his hand.

A low Weng Ming erupted from his palm and spread out in all directions.

The 8-ring "Resonance Technique" is applied to all the Mourning Demons and governs their will.

Forcing the demons to give up their flight, he turned and walked straight for Black Feather, as if he held a treasure in his hand that the demons were desperate for and fanatically pursuing.

The demon trudged through the shrouded area of the "Transcendent Guardian", slumping in the path after receiving a burst of light every few seconds.

The ghost knights behind Black Feather took off their big bows one after another, aimed at the mourning demon, and shot arrows infused with magic power.

Whew!

The arrows shot by the Ghost Knight are not only extremely powerful, but also enchanted with the "Nether" special effect.

Even the Void Demon "Lost" couldn't dodge it, and was killed by an arrow.

In just ten minutes, thousands of mourning demons were slaughtered.

Black Feather walked up to the corpse-strewn trestle and raised his left hand.

On the pale and thin middle finger, the galaxy ring is shining.

Black Feather squirmed thin lips and whispered a mantra.

In response to his call, the river made waves.

A massive black three-masted galleon, surfaced.

The water stains on the deck, sizzling and turning into steam.

This is the "ghost ship", a means of transportation on the River Styx.

Black Feather leads the group onto the boat.

On the ghost ship, there are no ghosts in sight.

In fact, the ship itself is "alive".

The so-called ghost refers to the will of the sailboat itself - the ship spirit.

Kuroba establishes a spiritual connection with the "ship spirit" and issues commands.

The sailboat starts slowly and automatically sails on the wide river.

The dark river flows quietly, the water exudes a biting chill, and the drift ice drifts with the waves, the edges as sharp as knives.

Felin stood on the side of the boat, fumbling for the fishing rod in the storage bag, resisting the urge to throw a rod.

In the River Styx, there are countless inexplicable monsters.

In case he was dragged down, he poured a belly of Styx water, but even his mother couldn't recognize him.

At this moment, a pillar of sky-high light suddenly appeared in the distance on the riverside.

Qinglan glanced up, her face changing slightly.

"Who is teleporting in the underworld? I really don't know whether to live or die! ”

"Count him lucky not to crash headfirst into the River Styx."

"But then, there is still his suffering."

Qinglan's assertion was quickly verified.

In the dark and empty wasteland, the magic glow is too conspicuous.

It soon attracted the demons and ghosts that wandered in the wasteland, and they surrounded it in groups.

A dazzling lightning bolt suddenly cracked in the air, and the dim underworld heavenly dome suddenly exploded with thunder!

Bang!!

Many demons and ghosts were instantly shattered by thunder.

Everyone on the ship was also deeply shocked, and their faces changed.

Immediately afterward, another spectacle appeared over the wasteland.

Huge golden palms, brilliant and covering the sky.

With a random wave, he swept away a large group of demons, shattering flesh and bones, and splattering black blood.

The screams in the distance were endless.

"Snap of your fingers...... That's Allen's unique stunt! ”

Felin jumped up excitedly.

"Our late teammate, right on shore!"
